Switzerland

Switzerland’s Alps and Heritage

13 days

Trip Snapshot

"Journey through Switzerland, a country of vibrant wonderment; the small mountainous country embraces its landmarks, cities, and nature with pride. Soaring glacier-encrusted mountains that stand proudly throughout the nation are home to the much-skied snow and ice lands. The mountains are transformed into meadows of wild alpine flowers and edelweiss as the winter turns to spring. You'll traverse various UNESCO World Heritage cantons aboard the Bernina Express, Glacier Express, and Swiss first-class rail carriages. The postcard-perfect village of Lauterbrunnen is nestled deep in the yawning valley of 72 waterfalls. The region is a magnet for nature lovers who enjoy outdoor activities from hiking, canyoning and even base jumping. It's said that there is nowhere the resorts are more beautiful, the peaks higher and the glaciers grander. In Kandersteg, the mountains rise like ecological battlements above the ludicrously beautiful turquoise Oeschinensee lake. Discover beautiful castles, sparkling lakes, pea-green vineyards, and colorful villages jostle with UNESCO world heritage sites, medieval towns, and the industrial districts of modern cities that intersperse the ever-changing Switzerland landscapes. The vibrant multicolored towns host ancient markets that are abuzz with tradition, folkloric fairs, and alp-horn concerts. Celebrate hearty gastronomic feasts with air-dried meats, gooey fondue cheese, velvety chocolate, and lashings of kirsch."
